Let there be Poop!

Renae has been labelled as the "Pooping Monster" this evening after a bathtub event which I did not photograph because of nudity and poop. No word of a lie Renae pooped in the bathtub tonight 4 times. My other girls NEVER pooped in the tub but Renae is my little pooper. She has a wonderfully healthy bowel but seems to take quite a bit of enjoyment in pooping in the warm water.

So as soon as dinner was ready Steve got a phone call which preoccupied him for an hour. So I did spaghetti for the girls (no big deal) then thought I'd stick Renae in the tub after. Well, solo baths are rare in our house and as soon as Nicole heard the water running she wanted in too (again no big deal). Then Lindy sheepishly came in asking if there was room for her, whatever the more the merrier. So they were in splashing and playing for about 7 minutes when all of a sudden I hear "RENAE POOPED!" followed by screaming and laughing. (Steve is still on the phone and unable to help for any of this). So I go and clean it all up as the big girls try to get above the water line and are killing themselves laughing. As I am scooping, Renae takes the Ariel barbie (which I clearly should have taken as soon as I saw what had happened but didn't) and starts splashing the dirty water everywhere then hits me in the face with the wet barbie hair. FOR THE LOVE!!!! Trying to stay calm, I continue cleaning up and getting everyone soaped down. I did not fill the tub again because I obviously need to disinfect after they are out. After the girls are soaped and rinsed I let them play for another minute in the shower. 2 minutes later, Renae squats and poops again. Lindy and Nicole are laughing hysterically and calling her the "Pooping Monster". I clean it up again. 1 minute later, she poops again (seriously what did this kid eat!) I clean it up again as Lindy "accidentally" splashes me with the shower water. Keeping in mind I am 7 months pregnant, bending over to clean this all up. I peeked out the door but Steve was STILL on the phone trying the fix our stupid printer (it had to be done and I was grateful he was doing it but bad timing for my poop drama). I go back in, soaping Renae down again and as I'm washing she poops a little more. I just started laughing because I don't know what else to do. She is so happy through all of this and thinks it is quite a game that she has discovered. Again I clean up, soap her down and get her out before she can do it again. She was quite irritated with me for taking her out but I did not want to clean anymore! The other girls continue to laugh and have fun for a few more minutes while I get Renae changed for bed. 5 minutes after she is changed, Steve gets off the phone and smiles asking "What was all that about?" . I was so glad that he got the computer fixed and so glad she was out of the tub. All I said to him was "That was the most exhausting bath I have EVER given the girls! Renae pooped 4 times!" He smiled and then carried on getting a bottle to put her to bed.

I am glad for a blog where I can put something random like this down so I can remember my girls at these fun ages and look back with a laugh.

This picture was from swim classes we did last month. Let it be known, she pooped in her swim diaper 4 or 5 times out of 10 lessons. She is my sweet little pooping monster!!!!!
